Many thanks for giving us a new perspective on climate change. As they say, the so-called "facts" are often "theory-laden", or in this case, perhaps "mythic-laden"? Perhaps our scientists are unconsciously projecting the Apocalypse myth onto their "data"? Ironic Mike Hulme is at the same university where there is now an independent review of the activities of its Climate Research Unit.

We should apply the great insights of Buddhism to the phenomenon of climate change. It, like everything else, is in a state of constant change. Everything in the universe is impermanent, especially climate. The notion that we (or governments) can control it will be seen in time as one of the greatest examples of humankind's hubris. We must accept that "all conditioned things are impermanent". So-called CC "deniers" are invariably folk who know that change is what climate does; what they deny is that alarmists know what causes it to change. The secrets of the Earth's elusive thermostat are known only to the weather gods!
